Lately the last few games ive burnt wont load up the first couple tries with swap magic. And if they do load, I have incredibly horrible load times.
Heres the situation.
Taiyo Yudens at 4x, not a single problem before and im half way through the batch.
Kingdom Hearts 2 was the first culprit. Loads up 1 outta 5 tries, with horrible loading. burnt onto a Sony 4x, works fine.
Gave bad taiyo to a friend, works fine.
Burnt Godfather and Digital Devil Saga 2. Same deal, horrible load times, doesnt load first try. Gave godfather to friend, works fine.
Burned Digital devil 1, works fine.

The taiyos I burned previously all work fine.
So Im quite baffled here.

Have you tried cleaning or adjusting your laser? If not, here is a walkthrough for that: http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/ps2.ars

I was under the impression if it were to be a lens issue, it would have trouble reading ALL taiyo yudens, not just some.
But I gotta try something because theyre unplayable. Yet I dontwanna go buy sonys when I have 50 taiyos still here.

It may just need cleaned, yes, otherwise it may need replaced. You can buy lasers at - http://www.divineo.com or http://www.divineo.co.uk
